Nancy Bohl Bormann
Nancy Bohl Bormann is a Manure and Nutrient Management Researcher at the University of Minnesota in the Soil, Water, and Climate Department. She received her B. S. from Iowa State University, M.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Her main research project is working on the development and implementation of a nationwide manure test database called ManureDB. Previously she worked in the nutrient management field for fourteen years as a CCA with The Maschhoffs. Nancy is the Kossuth Soil and Water Conservation District Chair, an Iowa State University Northern Research Farm Board Member, and a member of the AgGateway Laboratory Data Standardization Working Group. She has a passion for the intersection of agriculture and the environment, especially in nutrient management, agricultural data management, and soil and water quality areas.
